Overview: A once-in-a-lifetime trip including transfers to hotel, qualified and experienced guides and safety kayakers, meals (except when in Marrakech) and 2 nights hotel accommodation.
The rich culture and diversity of Morocco is intoxicating. With lush river valleys, dramatic gorges and wide expanses of desert, it is a little adventure haven right on our doorstep and the perfect setting to escape the cold British winter.
Over 3 days our journey will take us into the magnificent High Atlas Mountains, paddling down the Ahansal River in the glorious sunshine to Lake Bin El Ouidane. We will experience exhilirating rapids, crystal clear water and magnificent mountain scenery by day, whilst at night we will enjoy scrumptious food at our riverside camp with a chilled beer around the campfire or a game of volleyball. This is a fantastic location to blow the cobwebs away and have some serious fun and relaxation in the Moroccan sunshine. And with ample chance to enjoy the charms of the imperial city of Marrakech, maybe some retail therapy in the multicoloured
market souks or a Moroccan Hammam massage, this will be the perfect ending to a great little adventure.
Duration: 5 Days.

"After spending some travelling alone, I decided on a change of pace and Social Circle provided me with such a holiday. One which the experiences and memories I will share forver with the fantastic group of people I met.
